Cows to cloud. Farm to fridge.

India's largest dairy uses technology to help farmers keep their cows healthier and more productive, creating new economic opportunities that transform communities.

How the cloud powers India’s dairy farm

The dairy farming industry in and around Bhilawadi, India faces its own set of unique challenges. Collecting from small-scale local producers and ensuring safe product transport are no guarantee, and can hurt milk yields. Chitale Dairy sells around 60 million liters (16 million gallons) of milk annually from its own dairy farm and the small surrounding farms.

From monitoring dairy cow habits and health using IoT sensors, to automating and improving milk production through a high-speed, high-availability network, Chitale is the top of the Indian dairy industry. Everyone wins: the farmers, the company, the community — and, yes, even the cow.

Happy cows. Happy farmers.

Lifecycle management goes to the cloud. For Chitale Dairy, digital transformation helps keep dairy farmers’ most precious livestock healthier and producing at a 10x higher yield, through big data analytics, automated farmer to-do lists and computerized breeding management. This kind of transformation was nearly impossible just a generation ago, and owes itself to a creative and innovative use of technology that helps foster opportunity for the farmers around them. Go behind the scenes of how Chitale Dairy’s ability to monitor, react and predict cow behavior in real time is leading to extraordinary results.

Once we adopted VMware as a technology, it really helped us, because without that scalability I don’t think that we could do what we have done today. We have complete management of cows through computers, changed from a manual process to a computed process.”
